Given that the kernel has grown in size over the years, does the
mainline kernel fit in the factory layout?

I don't mind breaking backwards compatibility, if the factory defaults
no longer actually work.....

Also, lets think about the users here. This is a very old box. Anybody
playing with one are probably of the sort who tinker with a classic
car in the garage, taking the engine apart and putting it back
together again. I doubt there are users of this box who take their car
in for a service once they are out of windscreen washing water.
